The other day, I visited Denmark on an overseas business trip for the first time in a long time.

It's been a long time since I traveled abroad under the corona disaster, so the visit to the site was very refreshing.

We have several farms, one of which imports breeding pigs from Denmark and produces them under its auspices.

Improving breeding pigs is a dizzying day-to-day process, and breeding improvements are constantly being carried out to improve productivity. In fact, for the first time in about three years, I witnessed the progress made while visiting local farms, selecting pigs, and exchanging information.

Compared to the pig farming and meat culture in Europe, I feel that the history and culture of pig farming and meat culture in Japan is still shallow.

Coming here, I feel that the meat culture is spreading all at once in Japan, but when it comes to history, I still feel that I will go to the local area from here. seeing is believing. is not it.

Nonetheless, we have to improve our international competitiveness in Japan as well.

In order to protect and develop domestic industry, know the other party.

I also need this.

Since then, we will regain an international sense.
